This morning, Chris Evans fans received the bittersweet news that their favorite actor is no longer single. Evans has tied the knot with Portuguese actress Alba Baptista. The couple got married in a small ceremony at their home in Boston, surrounded by close friends and family.
While we congratulate them and send our best wishes for their future together, it’s hard not to think about Evans’ ex-girlfriend, Jessica Biel, and the time when their wedding rumors were making headlines. Biel and Evans dated on-and-off for five years, from 2001 to 2006.
Initially keeping their relationship private, they eventually went public at the My VH1 Music Awards in December 2001. Their affection for each other was clear for all to see. Despite trying to avoid media attention, the former couple shared a strong bond and there were even reports of them considering marriage.
In an interview with Cosmo in 2005, Biel addressed the marriage rumors, explaining that while they both wanted to get married and have children, they were not engaged at that time. She called Evans “a keeper” and shared a romantic gesture he had made for her on her 21st birthday.
However, despite their love and desire to be together, Biel and Evans decided to end their relationship in 2006. They have remained tight-lipped about the reason for their split.
